it transfers it from your health care provider, who gave you the shot, or your state. Can't enter it manually, that would be just dumb

If you were vaccinated in a state that has a policy of not implementing this, how hard is it to get a digital card from a different state? It would be worth quite a bit to me to get a real digital card. I suspect the paper cards will not be usable to travel in the near future.
It's not necessarily a state thing. If you got vaccinated at Walmart or CVS, for example, you can add it because they're also using the Smart Health Card system. It can be implemented on a state level like California, but also an individual medical provider level.
That code looks rather mangled, I doubt it will scan, and if it does it won't help anyone else since the name on the car won't mach their id, so the checker at the venue will know somthing us up and probably deny accessThanks for sharing your code with everyone.
Yea exiting a Small union,( probably) to join a larger one as opposed to a certain other Exit ( ok I'm scating on thin ice here and I know it mods, I just felt it needed to be said )
The problem is, I got vaccinated at my local healthcare system. Sadly, they don't have Smart Health Card set up. I suspect I am stuck waiting until my local hospital chain gets with the program. My state is actively opposing Smart Health Cards. They would outlaw them if they could.
FYI if you’ve got an EU vaccination certificate, you can already do this using a third-party service: https://www.getcovidpass.eu/
If done correctly with digital signatures, it basically can be impossible to fake - the reader app won’t validate it unless it was signed with the issuer’s private key. The best you could do is use someone else’s digital card, which would then show their name instead of your’s (you can’t change the name because then the digital signature won’t match), and you’d have to get a very legit-looking fake ID with your photo and their name, which can get you into other trouble.
Having my insurance card on my phone came in handy for me when I ended up in the ER & didn't have my physical wallet.
i have 15.1 on my iphone and for the life of me i can't figure out how to add my vaccination record. There's nothing in the wallet or the health app that allow it to be added. Anyone know how it's done?
It may not be supported at the state level but where did you get your vaccine? I got mine at Safeway and got the electronic record added as a pass in wallet. It looks much like the one in the article.Oh, Arizona... guess I won't be able to use this
But we get a website for verification that took an hour to register for only to find out the state doesn’t know who I am! 🤦♂️
Unfortunately in my state (Kansas) we either a) won’t be able to support this feature, or b) if we do the legislature will pass a law killing it.
Get the QR code up via the main NHS app (not the COVID specific one) by following the link to get your COVID pass then scroll down and there should be an Add To Apple Wallet button you can tap. Might only apply to the domestic COVID pass, not sure.

I don’t think you could have typed a more Illinois sentence 😂 That doesn’t surprise me. At all 🤦♂️
I didn’t even bother with the website. I have the card with me. Our vaccines were given at work, so when I got the card in January, it went right in my wallet. Came out for my second dose in February. It has not come out of my wallet ever since then...haven’t had to show it anywhere.
It’s in the general purpose NHS app, not the Covid contact-tracing app.
So my vaccination card says “CDC” on it but it was filled out by hand by the clinic that did the vaccine. I can only assume there is an official record somewhere in some database.
As someone who only has a domestic COVID pass (yay being in a clinical trial..), does it also work with the international one for you?
Edit: looks like it’s working now. Must have been a glitch in Walmart’s system.
Anyone with Walmart able to add theirs? I get this error.

This has existed in the EU for months.
The US is weird because every big tech co is from there, yet you can be last to the party to all kinds of tech/science related novelties.
Fe, how can it be possible that the country creates Google and Apple yet you don’t have LTE connection with a major carrier at JFK. Smh
